White Wolf Café - A Cozy Lunch Worth Finding In between doctor's appointments, I treated myself to a solo lunch at White Wolf Café. I knew I'd been here before, but I couldn't remember what I'd ordered, so I happily started from scratch with their wonderfully extensive menu. I settled on the Reuben with French fries, and it was exactly what comfort food should be. The corned beef was sliced just right, piled high beneath a blanket of melted Swiss cheese and tangy Thousand Island dressing, all tucked into perfectly grilled rye bread. The fries arrived hot and crisp, and the entire meal made it to my table surprisingly fast. A quick tip: lunch service ends at 2:30 p.m. before they reopen for dinner, so plan your visit accordingly. Parking takes a little patience since the café sits along the charming antique district on a busy street, but once you step inside, the search for a spot is quickly forgotten. As someone dining alone, I never felt out of place. I was greeted with genuine warmth, the kind that can't be scripted. One waitress worked alongside her sister, and one of them even had her two young daughters there, giving the whole restaurant the easy, welcoming feeling of a family gathering rather than a business. It's the kind of place where you're treated like a regular, even on your first visit. The atmosphere strikes a lovely balance between cozy and spacious. Exposed industrial ceilings are softened by an eclectic collection of beautiful light fixtures--everything from elegant chandeliers to vintage-inspired pendants--creating a space that feels collected over time rather than carefully curated. Every corner seems to have its own personality, inviting you to look up, look around, and linger just a little longer. Sometimes the best part of a busy day is finding a place that encourages you to slow down for an hour. White Wolf Café did exactly that. Come for the Reuben, stay for the hospitality. read more

Tried White Wolf Cafe for the first time and really enjoyed the cozy, mom-and-pop vibe. It has a welcoming, laid-back ambiance. I started with the lemon and blueberry cinnamon roll. The flavor was nice, but it leaned a bit on the dry side and wasn't as gooey or warm as I was hoping. Still, it was worth trying for something a little different. I also ordered the Cloud 1829 that was a hot coffee with Irish whiskey, Irish cream, Frangelico and whipped cream . It came out more lukewarm than hot, which was a little disappointing, but I stuck with it and overall it was still a pleasant drink. The highlight for me was definitely the "Hungry Like a Wolf." I went with pancakes, pattie sausages, eggs, and grits, and everything on the plate was excellent. Well-cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, a solid spot with a great atmosphere and some standout menu items. read more

I will start by saying the staff here are the friendliest I have ever seen, and they really want you to feel welcome in the eclectic/cozy dining area. We went for brunch and both got the Hungry Like a Wolf, both the french toast and the hash browns were over cooked so that subtracted a bit from the flavor. However, the seasonal cinnamon bun carried the visit! It is decadent and flavorful, perfect to share for the table. We also got the Hugo Spritz that was very refreshing and light. Would try again for a different entree in the future. read more

White Wolf Cafe - Side House Salad - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Decided to have breakfast instead of lunch today with my coworker... She recommended this spot and it didn't disappoint! The vibe is very eclectic lots of beautiful large stain glass chandeliers all over. We started off with a cocktail which didn't disappoint. I had the dark expresso martini and she had a bloody mary both made with love. For breakfast I had the crab eggs benedict which was so yummy and she had the chicken and biscuit. We also got a cinnamon roll to try and they are known for them everything was yummy. Only thing I'd say is it was so cold at the bar and the food got a little cold. But overall great spot and area. Looking forward to coming back and enjoying a few more cocktails on the patio. read more

White Wolf is your traditional "what you see is what you get" type of diner. The pricing is extremely reasonable, and they have a variety of options on their menu for breakfast and dinner. Fair warning they are not known for their coffee, and their iced lattes are 3/4 milk. Their signature item is a delicious warm cinnamon bun, which you get for free if you're a first timer! (to be redeemed at a future visit, but still, pretty sweet!) Keep in mind due to its location parking can get rough on the weekends. Overall you won't be disappointed in the food so it is a safe choice! read more

What a nice little cafe! I stumbled upon this beautiful cafe when I was doing the annual wine walk. I am so glad I came to check it out! I ordered the crabs Benedict ($18) which came with hash browns. It was very filling that I think it could've been shared by 2 girls. I wasn't the biggest fan of the crab cake itself but everything else was amazing. The eggs were poached perfectly and the flavor was top notch. I was surprised they were serving alcohol at 8 am, but it's Florida, more and more things surprise me each day! The Bloody Mary was tasty and a bit too strong for my liking in the morning. Had I ordered it 2 hours later when I was a bit more awake, I probably would've enjoyed it more. Nonetheless, this place is a catch! I will definitely be back to try other things! read more

Tasty, filling, fresh, and comforting. The breakfast potatoes were a mix of red and sweet which I loved. So unexpected but it was nice twist from all the savory flavors. I finally tried their infamous cinnamon roll and it was soft, sweet, and not dry at all! My only complaint was the OJ. Not sure what brand they used but it wasn't my favorite. Overall, the service and food were great. I'll be back! read more

Tried this cafe for the first time on Sunday during brunch and was seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive despite having multiple larger tables. We started with the seasonal blueberry & lemon cinnamon roll which was pretty dry and disappointing. However, the entrees we ordered were very delicious! The space felt cozy and had a homey feel. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

The White Wolf Cafe does not take reservations so we showed up as a family of 4 for Easter Sunday Brunch about 945am to a bustling business. Plenty of employees taking care of patrons at their inside-outside casua atmosphere andl seating. Even though there were people waiting, after we checked we were called less than 15 minutes later. We sat outside amd our waitress was friendly and attentive with food, drinks and recommendations. Menu was expansive for any palate, we started with their blueberry- lemon ricotta cinnamon bun, burger with fries, chicken sandwich with chips, fried chicken with gravy and a sausage-egg-cheese wrap with homefries. Coffee was delicious as was all of the entrees. Nice portions and fair prices. Enjoy! read more

I used to live close to here and the place was NEVER empty. I understand why. The food is fairly priced. The portions are well served. The staff is very attentive. I happened to suggest it when I had family in town. The place is always packed, so it does have a fair bit of noise, but nothing unbearable. They have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. Food-wise, the menu has several options for any type of diet. We tried several different courses and they all were more than acceptable. My ONLY complaints was my hash brown was cold and you get two strips of bacon. Otherwise, everything came out hot and tasty. I do recommend you get the cinnamon roll though. It is a good appetizer for the table and sets the rest of the meal up. read more

The cinnamon roll was the highlight of my meal as it is as warm and soft. The whole table finished it all. I was actually disappointed in my French toast. It was hard and I felt I was just eating regular brioche bread. The service was great however. I would still go back but I just won't order the French toast unfortunately. read more

White Wolf Cafe has some real potential, and overall we enjoyed our visit, mostly thanks to the food, which was largely excellent. The shrimp and grits were the star of the table, hands down the best dish of the experience and absolutely worth coming back for. The country fried chicken was very tasty, and the cinnamon bun was delicious. The colossal pancake lived up to its name in size, but unfortunately fell a little flat on flavor, with some seasoning tweaks it could easily be a showstopper. The Bloody Mary, sadly, was a miss for us, not quite what we were hoping for from a brunch cocktail. The service, however, is where the experience took a hit. We waited over 20 minutes just to have our order taken, and drinks were also slow to arrive. At one point, our son-in-law had to get up from the table to track down our server. Our server also seemed to be having a rough day, which was noticeable and did affect the overall vibe of the meal. White Wolf Cafe has genuinely great food and a great concept, this place could be absolutely fantastic with more attentive and consistent service. We'd give it another shot because the kitchen really delivers, and we're rooting for them to get it all firing on all cylinders! read more

I love the White Wolf Cafe! Great location, friendly servers, cool vibe inside and solid food menu. We went for brunch for my birthday, and the White Wolf team was very accommodating to our large party. I built my own omelet, which came with a biscuit and hash browns. My wife isn't a big breakfast fan, so she got the chicken salad on a croissant. She got to pick a side and went with the pasta salad. She didn't love the pasta salad but would get the chicken salad again. The bar is cool and chill, I will definitely go back, even to watch a little football and grab a drink at the bar. read more

Been hearing about and seeing great things about the White Wolf Café basically since I moved to the area. Living so far away, I have to time perfectly when I can go to these great restaurants. Well once Saturday morning, lightning struck and we were able to come! We get really lucky with street parking, wait like 20 minutes for a two-top, and get seated and started. Ambiance is beyond cool. Right there in the middle of Ivanhoe, it's surrounded by really cool restaurants, little shops, and of course the great Lake Ivanhoe. Really love coming to this area. And the inside it pretty cool, as well. Dark wood everywhere, art work all over the wall, and Tiffany-style stained glass lamp shades, several of them, hanging from the ceiling. Felt like the inside of an old antique shop. Service was great, too. A very nice fellas. Kept the drinks flowing, food came out at a good pace. No issues here. Now onto the food. I had the Country Fried Chicken (Marinated buttermilk fried chicken breast smothered in homemade sausage gravy. Two eggs with hash browns, home fries or grits & biscuits, toast or English muffins). This was insanely good. A good sized chicken breast, fried to crispy perfection, moist and juicy throughout, and smothered with that excellent gravy. Lovely. The home fries were both white and sweet potatoes, cooked all the way through and charred juuust enough to also be lovely. The eggs were scrambled, they were fine. I also got the chance to try the Baton Rouge Burger (Orlando Burger Battle winner! Cajun seasoned 8oz brisket short rib blend topped with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, citrus slaw and "tobacco" onions). Wow, what a burger! A nice sized patty. Too many burger patties around town have been shrinking lately.. Excellent tang from the goat cheese, excellent acid and sweetness from the slaw, and I'm not sure what was tobacco-like about those onions, but they were the crunch that set this burger off and made it perfect. We got dessert, against our better judgment. We ordered the Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream Sandwich. Wow. Definitely don't order this with no plans to share it. This giant, ooey gooey roll is sliced and stuffed with a nice, not-too-sweet vanilla ice cream, and then the whole thing is absolutely engulfed in whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and caramel. It was overwhelming, but not too overwhelming. I have no regrets. Overall, this place has earned it's place in my top three breakfast places in Orlando, without a doubt. The charm and effort of this place was very appreciated. Since I've gone, they've sold to a larger entity, so I hope they don't mess this place up. Orlandans are not very forgiving of that sort of thing. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch on Mother's Day. The wait was close an hour but it was ok because we found seats at the bar and got mimosas while we waited. We also knew there would be a wait given the day and the place not taking any reservations so it was fine. Once seated, service was friendly and efficient. We immediately put in an order for the cinnamon roll for 4 of us to share. It's been over 10+ years since the last time I was here so I was excited to have it again. It was smaller than I remembered but still pretty big and tasty. I also had a bloody mary with Tito's and a side order of biscuits and gravy as my entree. The portion was very large. The biscuits were nice and fluffy and the gravy was seasoned well. All of my friends tore up their food and did not have any complaints. For the portions and the price I paid, I thought it was a good deal. I ended getting another order of biscuits and gravy to take home to my husband so that plus my order plus the bloody and a cinnamon roll, it came out to about $25! Will definitely be back and not wait another 10 years. read more

Pros: Very good location, right in the heart of the Ivanhoe neighborhood. The inside was very cool. Lots of antique lampshades and artwork all over the wall. Lots of good stuff to look at. Service was very nice. We were very well taken care of. Food was so good. Very good fried chicken, with gravy that wasn't too strong. Very good burger with a patty size that was worth a hoot. Cons: Being in Ivanhoe means that finding parking could be a challenge, so be prepared for that. Tips: Looks like you should be good with anything you want to order. But if you like burgers, this was a particularly good burger. If you're gonna get the cinnamon roll ice cream sandwich for dessert, you'll definitely need at least one other person to help. read more

I absolutely adore White Wolf Cafe! It's my favorite place to go with my buddies whenever someone is visiting from out of town. I super hype up White Wolf Cafe as the place that makes the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Unfortunately, this place has ruined all other cinnamon rolls for me. I no longer enjoy getting Cinnabon at CityWalk; I can't make the Pillsbury ones at home... I have to wait for my 'fresh out of the oven' warmmm and gooey cinnamon roll from White Wolf! The servers are all very nice. And the prices for alcohol is VERY affordable (especially the mimosas and Bloody Marys). I usually order the Hungry Like the Wolf for brunch- including eggs, (okay) hash browns, bacon, and two of the most delish, fluffy pancakes. My out of towner buddies from NY said that their pancakes were some of the best they've ever had! I agree; I love a great, airy, golden brown pancake. I've also had the BLT, which was yummy and plentiful of bacon. The atmosphere is really cozy inside. I love the decor with all of the artwork. I've never had an issue finding parking- I usually find parking within a block or two (sometimes I get lucky enough to find a space within their actual lot). On the weekends, there is usually a wait... But the area is so beautiful- I don't mind walking around and checking out the shops (including the awesome record store across the street). I love my White Wolf Cafe and am savoring the moment that I can be reunited with my cinnamon bun and pancakes again! read more

Omelette was overcooked. Server was slow to bring requested stuff. Good otherwise. Probably wont come back.

We went especially for the Saturday happy hour. First time in since new ownership and have to say that we were disappointed. Service was good but wine selection was not. Mimosas tasted . Wine by the glass was not interesting. Food was okay but nothing special. I had black bean soup which was good. Hubs had clam chowder that he said just tasted like bacon. Onion rings ok, beef slider ok. read more

This place does not accept reservations but we went on a Saturday at 12pm and got seated pretty quickly for a party of 5. Street parking available but there's also a lot as well. I got a cinnamon roll to start and it was sooo yummy. It's huge so it's great for sharing with the table. Our food was yum and our food came out all together. the place was absolutely slammed so it did take a little bit but the quality of food made up for it.

Hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots. Be prepared to wait in line. Staff is always friendly. Try the Cinnabon, addicting!

This was our third time to White Wolf Cafe. We went during brunch time on a Saturday. When I was not gluten free (non-Celiac), I absolutely loved their cinnamon rolls (as does my husband). My diet is a quite a bit more restricted now (low histamine which includes gluten free). The build-your-own options were my go-to's. I was excited to learn about their gluten free English muffins, buns, and pancakes. I ordered an omelette with decaf coffee and an English muffin. Since I didn't want a starch with my omelette, our waiter offered to replace the starch with another English muffin at no additional charge. The English muffins were so tasty, though I'd planned to save one for later, I ended up chowing down on both. The English muffins are Sysco's Baker's Choice brand. I wouldn't say they are the same texture as a true English muffin, but they seemed to be prepared with butter and had more of a moist, yet flaky texture. The women's restroom floor was not as I remembered--in much need or cleaning or replacing maybe? Otherwise though the ambience is one we always enjoy. read more

This place is a nice little gem just north of downtown Orlando The outside gives old "small town restaurant in a big city life" feel with the old cloth awning covering some outdoor seating and mostly street parking. The inside is cute - plenty of tables all decorated with a unique chandelier style lamp above and the kitchen in the back of the room where you can see an extra large mural bragging about their cinnamon rolls (they really are that good). The good- our waitress was friendly, but clearly busy so we didn't hold the slight delays against her. She knew what was out of stock as we ordered so it ensured there weren't any more delays. The drinks were really good. The Florida Mule was citrusy and slightly strong, but it was missing any sense of carbonation from the ginger beer. The Espresso Martini was sweet, creamy, and smooth with just the right kiss of alcohol on the back end. The mochaccino was just ok, plenty of chocolate flavor from what was probably Hershey's syrup but no distinct coffee flavor or sweetness otherwise. I ordered the "Hungry Like the Wolf". Two eggs (over medium), hash browns, French toast, and sausage links. Overall it was pretty good. Eggs were slightly under and the hash browns needed another minute or two, but the French toast was thick and custardy and the sausage links were juicy and flavorful. The Crab Cake Benedict was apparently good. I tried it and it was a little fishier than I'm used to with crab cakes, and the eggs were inconsistently poached (one nearly hard boiled and one perfect), but the hollandaise was nice and the house potatoes were seasoned well. The cinnamon bun was also extremely good. Plenty of cinnamon sugar all throughout, while retaining so much moisture and fluffiness. The only comment here is that the icing was a bit more artificial than I would expect. I WILL be returning to try other things. The burgers and chicken sandwiches looked mouthwatering and the pancakes were bigger than the plate. read more

An interesting restaurant to say the least. We met relatives for a late lunch. Turns out White Wolf was an antique shop many years ago and became a restaurant about 30 years ago. Chandeliers, old hanging lamps, all kinds of antique items to look at while enjoying some really good foods. Parking was very limited as we thought street parking was the only option. We found out during lunch that White Wolf has a parking lot down the street. When we walked in we were seated quickly. Our Server was pleasant and informative and had our drinks filled as fast as was possible. Big menu, great options. We had Black bean soup, chili, , Baton Rouge burger, salad, Roasted beet salad, White Wolf club. Our plates were clean when we finished. We also tried their cinnamon buns which they make on-site. Everything we ordered was very good. Rest rooms were down a short hallway. The were clean. On this day White Wolf Cafe did a great job, it's a winner. read more

If you are looking for a good brunch location, this is a good place to try out. We like a variety in our meals so we picked the hungry like a wolf. I picked the cheesy grits and no regrets there. It was perfect and didn't need to add anything to it. We tried their cinnamon bun. I thought it was kinda dry but my husband like it. He liked the French toast and will go back. The service was nice. It can get busy for brunch so plan ahead. The outdoor seating is comfy so that was nice. read more

Go for the cinnamon rolls. That alone is enough to wait for a table and come back. We had a large party (10) on a Sunday morning. We called ahead to give them a heads up. Once arriving, we only waited about 15 minutes, they get very busy. We started with cinnamon rolls. Everyone in our party loved them. We ordered some to take home (great in the air fryer the next day) We had a mix of breakfast and lunch items, food came out quickly and there is lots to look at around the restaurant. Will be back for sure. read more
